Audiences across the world are looking for creative alternatives, authentic stories and characters that are more reflective and representative of the real world. And the real world is that gays are every- where, whether it’s in the East or West or everywhere in between. And also, audiences regardless of gender or race or sexual orientation, are looking for stories that can lead them into a fantasy or allow themselves to see them- selves in the screens that they’re looking at for once, or it’s just simply enter- taining and emotionally connecting and fulfilling.”

India has done fantastic reality and format television. We’ve got all sorts of international content. We have sports, news... But with regard to en- tertainment content, we got stuck in a time warp doing daily soap operas, which is the dominating feature of Indian television. And it has done really well, so no one is complaining. Everyone made their money... With the rise of OTT/streaming platforms, an opportunity opened up to tell different stories to India. There was a big need gap... There is an audience out there that’s really hungry for new content... platforms are ris- ing and they have to create this content because, unlike anywhere else in the world, there’s nothing to buy in India. So you can’t come with a truckload of cash and throw it at the problem, because you still have to make it.”

There are about 100 million people buying movie tickets in Indonesia a year, paying between US$3-US$5 a time. That’s up to US$500 million a year people are spending, in small amounts. Indonesia is a sachet economy. 80%-90% percent of sachet products do well... the sachet principle is very very important... if you’re able to pay three to five dollars to watch a movie every week, you are able to pay 20 or 30 cents for a movie service subscription.”

We spend a lot of time thinking about building a production ecosystem. Our perspective is our unique needs as a company as opposed to skill sets unique to each market. For us, it’s about management of a larger scale international production. For example, clearing music. All of a sudden, there’s a need for that. Also on a post-production level, the ability to schedule and budget across a much larger multi-episodic series is sometimes a skill set or experience that hasn’t been as popular or needed in the market. It’s really about figuring out where the gaps are. It’s not that there aren’t experienced people in Asia. It’s just that some- times our needs are a little more unique than what has been in each market.”
